Elevated Causeway System/Modular (ELCS(M))
Modular steel-pontoon elevated causeway for cargo offloads where no pier exists, reaching up to 3000 feet from the beach; modules sized to fit ISO containers.
Description
Jered designed and manufactured the Elevated Causeway System/Modular (ELCS(M)) for the U.S. Naval Facilities Command to support large cargo off-loads in areas with no pier facilities, or where existing facilities need additional support. It is a system of connected steel pontoons elevated on piles that extend seaward across the surf zone, providing a crossing point between lighterage, cargo vessels and the beach.

- Roadway supports two-way truck traffic
- Roadway length from beach ramp to pierhead can vary by up to 67 pontoon sections to suit beach gradients
- Modules standardized to fit ISO containers for transport, mobilization and deployment
- Includes the pier, lighting, safety, navigation and cargo handling systems, a marshaling yard system and a barge ferry system
Applications
- Military logistics over the shore and contingency cargo operations
